St. Petersburg, FL 鈥 Distinguished University Professor Emeritus Robert H. Weisberg was elected as an American Geophysical Union鈥檚 (AGU) Fellow. He joined 53 other individuals in the 2022 Class of Fellows. Since 1962, the AGU Union Fellows Committee has selected less than 0.1% of members as new Fellows. AGU, a nonprofit organization that supports 130,000 enthusiasts to experts worldwide in Earth and space sciences, annually recognizes a select number of individuals as part of its Honors and Recognition program.

Robert H. Weisberg was selected because he made outstanding achievements and contributions by pushing forward the frontiers of our science. He also embodies AGU鈥檚 vision of a thriving, sustainable, and equitable future powered by discovery, innovation, and action. Equally important is that he conducted himself with integrity, respect, and collaboration while creating deep engagement in education, diversity, and outreach.

Professor Weisberg was selected for his pioneering observational and theoretical work explaining tropical and coastal ocean phenomena of interdisciplinary and societal importance.  His career included physical oceanographic studies of the tropical Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the continental shelves and estuaries.
